While we don’t have kids that are going back to school this week, I’m starting to think more and more about healthy make-ahead breakfast ideas. You know – to send to work with my big kid (Jack) in hopes that one day he might start skipping the greasy breakfast tacos & processed Costco bagels that are usually waiting for him at the office. (I can at least try, right?)

I can always win him over with a smoothie, but I don’t always have time in the mornings to break out the blender. He loved these peanut butter crispy treats but I like to change things up. This week’s plan is to have these parfaits ready and waiting in the fridge so he can easily grab and go.

This is a spin on my favorite granola recipe – this time I used hemp seeds & walnuts. It isn’t a super clumpy granola (some might call it more of a cereal), but it’s tasty and packed with protein and some good omega 3’s.

Use whatever fruit you like – I used strawberries, blueberries and frozen tart cherries (like I said before, we’re in love with them). Feel free to use your favorite yogurt – plain, greek, or coconut yogurt if you’re vegan. I should also mention that you might want to keep your granola separate until you’re ready to eat these so it stays crunchy.

Yogurt parfaits make a regular appearance on our breakfast table; I particularly love how pretty they are. (I suspect I’m the only one in my testosterone-filled house who notices that aspect, but my boys do love to eat them…)

I agree that there is something about the start of the school year that makes me think about healthy and new breakfast ideas…..even though I’m not in school and don’t have kids! These parfaits look absolutely perfect!

YUM. My dad often skips lunch, which makes me very sad (he works from home, so it’s not like he’s being given unhealthy food all the time- he just forgets!). These parfaits sound like an awesome make-ahead option for people on the go. Thanks for sharing!http://www.youtube.com/sparklesandsuch26

I love parfaits and this looks so yummy! I am going to try and make this one!

I’ve never been one for big breakfasts’ in the morning, something about eating right when I wake up just doesn’t do it for me. My usual is a bowl of granola (more cereal-like than clumpy) with a bit of milk and a mug of tea. The granola is eaten first and hurriedly and I only let myself drink my tea once I’m finished. That’s how I get myself to eat breakfast – terrible, isn’t it? But I bet if I made these the night before, I’d enjoy eating them in the morning!

What a great idea to have the parfaits ready in the fridge. I used to buy this same thing in college and even still occasionally at coffee shops. It makes so much sense to make it at home to be ready on the go! And I love the addition of hemp seeds!
